Traveling On chords by Sunny Sweeney

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Am  C  Am  C


Verse 1:
 Am                    C
I went down to the Greyhound station
 Am               C
I picked up a long-legged man
 F                                     C    G/B  Am G
I never thought someone could have so much control over me
 F                             G
This simple heart never even had a chance


Verse 2:
 Am              C
We laid down up on that river
 Am          C
He kept me from the cold
 F                            C     G/B   Am  G
And the tremble in his voice put the devil in my soul
 F                          G
And whispered me a story never told

Chorus:
 C                   Am
Lord, save my soul from thinking about him
 F                         G
I can't be around him, I knew it all along
 C                     Am
And I don't like how the tale's unravelin'
 F     G              C
So I keep travelin', travelin' on


[Interlude]
Am  C  Am  C


Verse 3:
 Am                      C
I wish some nights that things were different
 Am                C
But I can't help what's in my mind
 F                                 C    G/B     Am    G
You're so lost in your own world, you can't even hear me
crying
 F                             G
But it's hard for me to leave it all behind


Verse 4:
 Am          C
I think now on that river
 Am                     C
About when I lost all the will to try
 F                                C    G/B  Am G
But your blue eyes will no longer have control over me
 F                          G
'Cause I wanna get to heaven when I die



Chorus:
 C                   Am
Lord, save my soul from thinking about him
 F                         G
I can't be around him, I knew it all along
 C                     Am
And I don't like how the tale's unravelin'
 F     G              C G/B Am
So I keep travelin', travelin' on
 G      F     G              C
So I keep travelin', travelin' on


Outro:
Am  C  Am  C
F  C G/B Am G F  G  C
